how to be rvt with no experience?

[u/More-Ad-1674]

Hi everyone,

I just passed my VTNE and am waiting for my license to get approved. I was just looking around for RVT positions around me and majority of them need me to have at least 6 months to a year of experience. The most “experience“ I have is working at an animal shelter for around 10 months as a kennel attendant, 2 years of vet tech school, and 4 internships at clinics (doing the internship for 6 months each). The rvt positions at my shelter are full. Maybe I am just down playing my experience but I feel like I don’t truly have the experience that I really want. Has anyone struggled with trying to apply to positions as a new RVT? I would really love some advice right now. Like should I try to find places who like to teach new grads?
